Drew Lock Drew Lock Set for Week 16 start Fri, Dec 20, 2024, 5:25 PM Lock (heel/left elbow) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta. Analysis: Coach Brian Daboll told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com on Wednesday that Lock was set to regain the Giants' starting quarterback job for Week 16 after serving as the emergency third QB behind Tommy DeVito and Tim Boyle in a Week 15 loss to the Ravens. Lock followed up Wednesday's limited session with back-to-back full practices this week, thereby locking him in to another start. Meanwhile, DeVito, who suffered a concussion against Baltimore, cleared concussion protocol Friday and will settle into the No. 2 role this weekend, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. While operating as the starter Weeks 13 and 14, Lock completed 42 of 81 passes (51.9 percent) for 405 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions, adding nine carries for 116 yards and one TD and a lost fumble.
Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy Status in question for Sunday Fri, Dec 20, 2024, 1:37 PM Tracy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Tracy was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday due to an ankle injury, which is clouding his status for Week 16 action. The Giants kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, so his availability, or lack thereof, will be known before the early slate of games. Devin Singletary would be poised to lead New York's backfield if Tracy is inactive, with Eric Gray also available for any RB reps that linger.
Tommy DeVito Tommy DeVito Clears concussion protocol Fri, Dec 20, 2024, 10:36 AM DeVito cleared concussion protocol and will be the Giants' No. 2 QB for Sunday's game at Atlanta, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports. Analysis: Drew Lock (heel) returned to full practice participation earlier in the week and has been named as the Week 16 starter. Lock's absence allowed DeVito to start this past Sunday's eventual 35-14 loss to the Ravens, with Tim Boyle then taking over for the second half after DeVito got concussed.
Tommy DeVito Tommy DeVito Stays limited Thursday Thu, Dec 19, 2024, 4:13 PM DeVito (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: While DeVito maintained his activity level from one day prior, coach Brian Daboll told Salomone earlier Thursday that the second-year signal-caller was expected to increase his activity level as he progressed through the concussion protocol. Daboll added, "I think he'll be available" Sunday in Atlanta, but even if DeVito gains clearance from an independent neurologist and is active this weekend, he'll be the backup to Drew Lock (heel/left elbow), who practiced fully Thursday. Tim Boyle is on hand to handle No. 2 QB duties if DeVito isn't able to.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Logs full practice Thursday Thu, Dec 19, 2024, 3:03 PM Robinson (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Robinson was limited in practice Wednesday, but he's now ready to rock for Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons. The third-year pro has drawn 20 targets in his last two appearances, but only logged eight catches for 76 yards on those opportunities. He may benefit from the return of QB Drew Lock, who was a full participant Thursday, to the starting lineup.
Drew Lock Drew Lock Manages full practice Thu, Dec 19, 2024, 3:01 PM Lock (heel/elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Lock, who was limited in practice Wednesday and missed the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens, now seems fully on track for Sunday's road matchup against the Falcons. Head coach Brian Daboll has already announced that, if available, Lock will start versus Atlanta on Sunday, priming him for matchup against Falcons rookie quarterback Michael Penix. Tommy DeVito (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday and seems to be trending in the right direction for Week 16, meaning he could be available as Lock's backup.
Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Logs full practice Thursday Thu, Dec 19, 2024, 2:57 PM Nabers (knee/foot) practiced fully Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Nabers followed up a limited session Wednesday with full participation one day later, paving the way for the standout rookie to be available Sunday in Atlanta. He'll be taking on a Falcons defense that has allowed the fifth-most YPT (8.44) and most receiving touchdowns (20) to opposing wideouts in 14 games this season.
Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy Limited again Thursday Thu, Dec 19, 2024, 2:53 PM Tracy (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Analysis: Tracy has kicked off Week 16 prep with back-to-back capped sessions due to an ankle issue, giving him only more chance to log a full practice in advance of the weekend. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he's given a designation for Sunday's game at Atlanta. Since the Giants' Week 11 bye, Tracy has averaged 14.0 touches for 63.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring two rushing TDs over the last four contests.
Drew Lock Drew Lock Logs limited practice Wednesday Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 2:44 PM Lock (heel/left elbow) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Analysis: Lock missed the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Ravens due to a sore heel and a left elbow injury, which kept him off the practice field in advance of that contest. Prior to getting back on the field Wednesday, Lock was effectively named the Giants' starting quarterback for Week 16, with head coach Brian Daboll telling Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that the team is planning on Lock being under center Sunday in Atlanta. Meanwhile, Tommy DeVito remains in the concussion protocol and also operated with a cap on his reps Wednesday, meaning Tim Boyle is the healthiest signal-caller on New York's active roster.
Tyrone Tracy Tyrone Tracy Dealing with ankle issue Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 2:36 PM Tracy was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Analysis: Tracy dealt with a right low-ankle sprain in August, but the health concern didn't affect his status for Week 1 and beyond. Since he regularly started earning a 60 percent snap share beginning Week 5 at Seattle, he's averaged 16.6 touches for 84.5 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring five rushing touchdowns over the last 10 contests. Tracy's status will be watched as the week continues to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's road matchup with the Falcons.
Tommy DeVito Tommy DeVito Limited Wednesday, back to backup Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 2:34 PM DeVito (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Analysis: It's encouraging that DeVito was available in any capacity after exiting late in the first half of this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Ravens due to a concussion. DeVito still needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to dress for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Even if DeVito's healthy enough to play, he's expected to back up Drew Lock (heel/left elbow), per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Lock was a limited participant in practice Wednesday after missing the loss to Baltimore.
Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Limited by two injuries Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 2:30 PM Nabers was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to knee and foot injuries, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Analysis: Nabers has dealt with numerous health concerns during his rookie campaign, but the combination of knee and foot issues are new injuries for the wideout. Even with four different quarterbacks taking snaps for the Giants this season, he's reeled off a 90-901-4 receiving line on 140 targets through 12 games. Nabers' status thus will be one to monitor as the week goes on to ensure he'll continue to be available for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Limited due to shoulder injury Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 2:28 PM Robinson (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports. Analysis: This is a new injury for Robinson, who has drawn 20 targets over the last two games but caught only eight of them for 76 yards. The shifty wide receiver has two opportunities left to upgrade to full participation, which could help him avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Tommy DeVito Tommy DeVito Participating in drills Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 12:27 PM DeVito (concussion) is taking part in drills during Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. Analysis: After sustaining a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Ravens, DeVito has already made enough progress through the five-step protocol to take part in on-field work. Though the extent of his activity in practice won't be revealed until the Giants release their first Week 16 injury report later Wednesday, DeVito appears to have a good shot at being available this Sunday against Atlanta. If DeVito is available this weekend, head coach Brian Daboll said that the second-year signal-caller will work as the backup to Drew Lock (heel/elbow), who appears on track to return from a one-game absence, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
Drew Lock Drew Lock On track to start Week 16 Wed, Dec 18, 2024, 11:46 AM Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Lock (heel/elbow) will practice Wednesday and is expected to start Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Lock started for the Giants in losses to the Cowboys and Saints in Weeks 13 and 14, respectively, completing 42 of 81 pass attempts for 405 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions while adding 116 yards and a touchdown on nine carries between those contests. Last Monday, Daboll said that Lock would remain the Giants' starter if healthy, but a sore heel plus a lingering left elbow injury kept him out for this past Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Ravens. Tommy DeVito started that game before exiting with a concussion, resulting in Tim Boyle finishing out the contest. Though DeVito will have a chance at clearing concussion protocol prior to Sunday, the Giants are preparing to go back to Lock under center, provided he's able to make it through the week of practice without any setbacks.
Daniel Bellinger Daniel Bellinger Nabs all three targets Week 15 Mon, Dec 16, 2024, 1:49 PM Bellinger caught all three of his targets for 35 yards Sunday in a 35-14 loss to Baltimore. Analysis: Bellinger's target and reception counts tied for third most on the team, and he ranked third in receiving yards behind Malik Nabers (82) and Wan'Dale Robinson (38). With Theo Johnson (foot) out for the season, Bellinger has moved into a starting role and has eight catches for 80 yards over his past two contests. New York's quarterback situation is messy with Drew Lock (heel/elbow) missing Sunday's game and Tommy DeVito leaving late in the second quarter due to a concussion, as journeyman Tim Boyle was left to lead the offense in the second half. The injuries and overall poor play at the QB position could actually play somewhat into a positive situation for Bellinger, though, as he's been used mostly as a security blanket in the short areas of the field.
Jalin Hyatt Jalin Hyatt Not targeted over 20 snaps Sunday Mon, Dec 16, 2024, 1:37 PM Hyatt did not receive a target in Sunday's 35-14 Week 15 loss to the Ravens. Analysis: Hyatt's 20 offensive snaps were fourth most among Giants wideouts, well behind Malik Nabers (64), Wan'Dale Robinson (52) and Darius Slayton (46). Hyatt wasn't able to draw a target while he was on the field, marking the third time over his past five games that he hasn't had a ball thrown his way. Given his paltry production this season and low standing on the depth chart, as well as the overall struggles of New York's passing game, Hyatt is off the fantasy radar in virtually all formats.
Darius Slayton Darius Slayton Gets just one target Week 15 Mon, Dec 16, 2024, 1:32 PM Slayton caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to Baltimore. Analysis: Slayton's recent trend of poor production continued in the loss, as he's now caught two or fewer passes in four straight games. Even more worrisome is the fact that the veteran wideout was targeted just once in the contest. It doesn't help that the Giants' quarterback situation is a mess. With Drew Lock (heel/elbow) unable to play against the Ravens and Tommy DeVito leaving late in the first half due to a concussion, journeyman Tim Boyle ended up playing the entire second half. It's uncertain which of the three signal-callers will be behind center to begin next Sunday's matchup versus the Falcons, but Slatyon's outlook isn't bright regardless of who is throwing passes for the team.
Devin Singletary Devin Singletary Scores fourth rushing TD in loss Sun, Dec 15, 2024, 8:06 PM Singletary rushed eight times for 25 yards and secured all three targets for 16 yards in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. Analysis: Singletary tied his highest carry total since Week 4, the last game in which he was still considered the lead back before Tyrone Tracy usurped him for the role. Singletary logged only two fewer carries than his backfield mate Sunday, and his two-yard rushing touchdown late in the first half was his fourth of the campaign. The veteran back should retain a solid complementary role at minimum in a Week 16 road matchup against the vulnerable Falcons defense.
Wan'Dale Robinson Wan'Dale Robinson Another four catches Sunday Sun, Dec 15, 2024, 6:55 PM Robinson brought in four of nine targets for 38 yards in the Giants' 35-14 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. Analysis: Robinson finished a distant runner-up across the board in all three receiving categories to Malik Nabers. The reliable third-year pro eclipsed the 70-catch mark on the season (71) with Sunday's production, and he heads into a favorable Week 16 road matchup against the Falcons with at least four receptions in four of the last five contests.
